Question about installing maildrop

Apologies if this turns out to be a pathetic newbie question but...

I am running postfix (postfix-1.1.12-1, standard RH9) with maildirs and
so use maildrop as the final delivery agent.  For the moment I am using
rpmbuild with the tarball from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/courier/maildrop-1.6.3.tar.bz2

Everything works effectively out of the box.  The issue is that the
default delivery destination is the mailbox in /var/spool/mail rather
than the maildir in ~/Maildirs.  Dan Alderman who runs a not dissimilar
set up chose to manually edit the files and recompile to change the
default behaviour whereas I am choosing to use a final `to "Maildirs"'
in my .mailfilter and use maildrop as distributed.

The question I have is whether we have missed something in the
configuration process of maildrop that would allow is to more easily
state that we want maildirs rather than mailbox as the default
delivery.  I had a quick peek at the configuration system and it seems
to check for Courier and QMail for maildirs behaviour and then otherwise
assume mailboxes and sendmail.  Whilst postfix emulated sendmail by
default the postfix + maildrop + maildirs is, I believe, a common way of
configuring things and so could usefully be detected.

Is it actually necessary to do the configuration at compile time or
could it be done at runtime as is the case with postfix and
courier-imap?
